Mark,

I would like to make sure as to one thing. Could you check please in your Canadian sources how the follownig Polish 1st Armoured Division AoS is described:

black-white AoS No. 44

One of the Polish books describes it as the 1st Forward Tank Delivery Squadron but the other book informs that 1st Division's AoS 44 means Field Post.
I have AoS serial '44' (for 1st Polish Armd Div) in white on black - as Field Post Unit (which would be the Divisional 'Postal' (ie' 'MAIL') unit

The same goes for the Aos 473. According to Polish books it is either 1st Forward Tank Delivery Squadron or Divisional Replenishment Center. Nobody researched it firmly half a century long and this is the revenge of history against us. Help Canada, help
on all AoS listings/charts I have, AoS serial '473' (for 1st Polish Armd Div) is shown as 1st Tank Replacement Squadron.

Gregory, both the above answers are for 1st Polish Armd Div, within 21st Army Group, for 1944-1945.

Cheers
